      It’s kind of sad that it’s May 20th and we still need 4 more guys to fill the roster. I have no idea who may be available via the portal, but I would assume that it is slim pickings. Maybe we can find a player or two from Europe.

      I am excited that Al Jensen from the Rick Majerus coaching tree will be our head coach. However, he got a very late start. I do not expect much from this team. Hopefully, he has started recruiting the players for next season.

        I don’t share your perspective. Alex could grab portal guys any day. He’s waiting to see which guys opt out of the draft, which euro guys might be available, and any other high talent guys falling through the cracks. No need to rush when he’s got his 10 guys currently, IMO.

      Nice to see that Okonkwo has such a long wingspan. That should help our lack of height down low.

        I like that he’s 240 lbs too.

      Thank you for posting this. A very good, informative read. I wish Alex and his staff nothing but the very best and look forward to attending as many games as I can.

      This should not be a ‘wait and see’ year for Utah basketball fans. If there has ever been a year to shell out a few bucks for season tix and show support this would be it. We all fan the way we want – I get that. I just hope to see an increase in attendance this year.

      You don’t need 15 playable guys. Most rotations are between 9-12 players. So Alex has 11 he needs one maybe two more and he be fine. Maybe a true PG and maybe one more big. I know they are looking internationally right now.

      There is even the possibility Alex doesn’t fill all 15 spots. I do think he fills at least two more spots and he start next season with a minimum of 13 which is plenty.

      One thing you have to remember is he didn’t recruit position specific players. Most on the roster can play two or three different roles or positions. So 11 can look like 13 or 14 with all the flexibility.

      This team is about athletes the can play and defend multiple spots
